Nvidia 3D Vision>>>>>>Everything

seriously? 3d gamings been around for awhile on pc's, there was an old windows registry hack iirc that displayed red/blue and let you use normal old school 3d glasses which proves it can be done without the special monitor (as does avatar and the other 3d movies that use dual image projection) anyways, i spent alot on my pc / tv combo im not buying a 3d monitor now 6 months later. they lost a customer with even more unnecessary hardware.

How many people even use nvidia 3D vision? Barly anyone I'm guessing.

Once they can figure out a way to make it add something to the game aside from being "OH EM GEE STUFF IS OUTSIDE OF THE SCREEN INSTEAD OF INSIDE!" and also make it work without any glasses....no, sorry, it isn't going to be very appealing. Unless games are going to be dumbed down for it to be beaten in around 2 hours, the glasses and 3D will cause severe eye strain after prolonged use.

Just an fyi, they had a koisk demoing the Nvidia 3D glasses. I tried it and found it disorienting and unappealing to use.

can a Geforce GTX 260m do 3D or do i need a dedicated 3D cardmurat8

This is why the virtual boy worked so well, amirite, folks?!

If it isn't about pop out then what is it about? I don't feel 3D adds anything to my games and would just feel out of place in alot of them.

And I'm happy for you that the glasses do not cause strain for you, but plenty get eyestrain from 3D effects after prolonged time.

Also why do they set the koisks to purpiusley not display well thus making sure no one cares about it? Is there an anti-Nvidia conspiracy?

This guy absolutely works for Nvidia.... how else would he know that kiosks set the depth to 15%... I was pretty sure he was a salesman b4... but now I know...

Anyway... I'd already have the 3D Vision glasses if they made a freaking compatible monitor bigger than 22"

actually it doesn't work with every game ever made. it only works with direct 3d games and not always perfectly.

I don't need eyestrain and gimmicky 3D to play L4D.

3D is 3D. One is using colored glasses to combine the two images, the other is using shutter glasses to do this. The effect is identical. The only plus with shutter glasses is you don't get a reddish, blueish tint to everything. so how the heck are colored glassess not true 3D?

Maybe, if I didn't need 120 Hz monitor ... Also - no XP support?

LOL, fail! You don't even know the basic principle of operation of 3D. The depth depends on the difference in position for the left and the right eye. The glasses are only filters (polarization, color or shutter).

Yes complete bull.

edit:

The link you gave me did nothing but confirm that the only difference with color glasses is (as that article puts it) lack of perfection with the colors.

The glasses have nothing to do with the depth! Their only function is to provide separate images for the left and the right eyes. The depth comes from the software that renders the scene which sets the displacement of objects based on their z-value. Thus, on any of the 3D technologies - anaglyph, polarization, shutter or helmet with 2 monitors, you can vary the depth if you have the software ...

yep.. 3D is the same old 3D it's always been. It may have better colors now or look smoother, but it's still the same gimmicky pointless effect.

It may be fun from time to time with movies, but to play all your games wearing goofy glasses that cause eyestrain and add nothing to the game play?

No thanks. I've tried it and I'm far, far from impressed.

So you've tried Nvidia 3d vission? Find it hard to believe. I've also played on the Snes with those red/blue glasses but this is nothing like that.Revan_911

Yea, it's like switching from VHS to DVD in 3D.

Anyway, yea it's expensive, still it better to implement 3D now then later. If it's more implement it will go cheap faster

Until we have 3D without the need for blimmin glasses it's just never going to go mainstream enough to really bother with imo.

I've actually got over the whole recent 3D gimmick at the cinema now, after watching a few films in both 2D and 3D then comparing them and realising the difference really isn't worth the hassle of having to pay for and wear glasses all the time and also sometimes lose the picutre focus a little bit, and I think I'll just not bother in the future and save myself a few bob in the process.

I don't understand all the hate for 3D to be honest. Maybe there are a lot of Luddites in the family history.

Even if it IS an advert, so what. If Toms Hardware says it's good, it's prolly worth a look. Like a lot of people I wear glasses everyday, and could not care less, if I look goofy *while playing a video game*.

If not adopting every piece of technology that appears no matter how useless or unappealing it is makes me a luddite then sure. I'm sorry but I don't feel a gimmick from the 60's is really going to be the way we watch TV from now on or play games. I don't want to watch my news in 3D and I don't want to get eyestrain from hours of play on a game.

How much does Nvidia pay you anyways? I'm looking for a job and going to forums praising Nvidia sounds easy enough.

Also radracer and virtualboy predate Nvidia 3D by a couple of decades.
